“We are pleased to receive these awards,” said Lemark Harris, the authority’s executive director. “We hope these funds will help to provide job opportunities throughout our local economy.”
The authority plans to use the money to pay for electrical upgrades to 172 dwelling units in Locklear Court, Chavis Park, and Strickland Heights as well install energy efficient, tank-less water heating systems for all of its 243 units. These upgrades will decrease the long-term utility costs for the residents of the Pembroke Housing Authority.
“We are thankful that HUD continues to provide capital funds for our agency to modernize our units,” Harris said. “Without these funds, renovations to our units would be very difficult. We will continue to exercise fiscal responsibility to ensure that this grant is invested wisely for the benefit of our residents.
“With these funds our families will experience continued comfort with energy efficient homes,” Harris said.

My goodness,nearly a million dollars?... Also if you look below the story in the similar stories, you will see they have recieved 3 more "grants" in the last 4 years totaling nearly 1.3 million. My my my, how nice for us tax paying Americans to make sure these"families"(ha) live in comfort and lower "their" energy costs, so they'll have a few extra dollars at the end of the month. Or is it the "first of the month?" Are they responsible for the light bill or water bill, or do we pay that too. Man, how about that, foodstamps, free lunches for their kids in school, medicaid,coats for kids, fans for poor families, more at four, even if you don't have a job to go to, just a little extra free time for the parents after school, you know how tuff it is watching the kids after a long day of leasurly activities,watching tv, buying lottery tickets, etc. This is one reason why we THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS are now speaking out about all of our money being given away against our will. You folks that get all the entitlement handouts better be praying to your GOD, (and that's not the pembroke housing authority either) for forgivness. Because stealing from others, and that includes the use of government to steal for you, is an OUTRIGHT SIN. Sad and also should be embarrasing. My mother always told me not to take anything that doesn't belong to me or you haven't earned it by hard work. and that's the truth...Ross O. Lumberton
